Seventh.

[trustharder]

The klaxons blare out bright and early Friday morning – granted, given the lack of windows in this place, it probably just feels early. Once again, things are quiet on the lower floors – the first-floor hallway isn't covered in blood, there aren't any bodies lying around, and things seem fairly normal to those just leaving their dorms. Of course, that doesn't mean that nothing is wrong; seven weeks in this place have probably taught everyone at least that much. Overall, though, things seem pretty sane until you get to the higher floors – where there are traces of blood on the fifth, in the general direction of the locker room between the saunas. >Explore?

[Hard to discern where it came from, the scrap isn't very large - it was caught on his teeth rather than used as some sort of gag, which should have been verified earlier and yet somehow was not, because the mods' reading comprehension is great today. It looks like it was torn off of something, though.]

[Its okay, this player's comprehension skills are not great too.

More clues though, which is great! Bruce will keep that along with the glass shard in his front jumpsuit pocket. He's apparently on a roll today...

Moving downwards even more now. Anything else of note on his body? Limbs, neck, shoulders... the upper part of his body that isn't utterly ruined by this bomb?]

[trustharder]

[Once you hit about the shoulder area, it's obvious that something may be kind of amiss - namely, there's a stab wound on his right shoulder. Not anywhere that would have been fatal, though, it didn't knock an artery open, but it's very definitely there.]

[amygdalae]

[...that's certainly a rather odd place for a wound like that.

Stab wound check time. Any traces of blood left on the wound? Was it wiped off? Deep or shallow? Or are none of these questions valid because of the explosion that happened right below.]

[trustharder]

[It looks like one would expect a non-fatal stab wound to look, actually (which given the Vault's track record is probably noteworthy, um) - there's blood on his clothes under all the singes and it seems consistent with someone having been stabbed before death.]

[amygdalae]

[...sob, yes, its probably something to note. AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T DIE OF A STAB WOUND, SHIZARU...

Annnnd more moving on now! Anything on his arms or hands that are of note? Or well, generally anywhere else on his body that Bruce would be able to notice because like hell he's letting an exploded body stop him from doing his job here.]

[trustharder]

[Two more things:

The first is bruises on his arms - they're the sort of pre-death defensive wounds that would be expected from someone who put their arms up to shield themselves from something, whether it was their face or another part of their body.

The second will be found if you check for more bruising: there's likewise some pre-death bruising at the back of his head - it doesn't seem dark enough to have been a hit hard enough to render him unconscious or dead, though, just bruising that should be noted.

Otherwise, we're actually good here. o/ ]

[Awesomesauce. Thanks mods--

Just one more thing - does the purple haze have any smell to it? Since Bruce has had to breathe this the whole time so if its anything chemical in nature he might be able to recognize it.]

[trustharder]

[Well, despite all the blood and general stuff we're not describing today...

It smells kind of like ammonia, actually.]

[amygdalae]

[Yep that's going to be Something to bring up later.

And that's it from me! Thanks again, mods. o/]
